To some degree they understand the financial impact and crisis due covid-19 and the aftermath which will take many months to not only restore general public confidence before a vaccine is readily available, but mostly when the economy will ready for an upswing cycle.

My advice is, read the fine print and understand the economic trade-offs you’d be making.You can come out ahead, but usually not as far ahead as appears on first glance, so make sure you understand the full deal that you’d be striking.The few that I investigated, I decided limited my future options too much so I chose to pay market interest rates to retain my flexibility with the property/project, or in other cases decided not to pursue the project at all regardless of financing terms.One important thing to look for is whether the financing (and obligations) transfer to any future owner and if so, under what terms, or if they do not, and instead trigger some kind of backout/payout clause on you.Many of those tax/loan programs stretch out over years, and since it’s hard to predict the future, it’s also hard to understate how they can limit your future options with the property.For example, many times we’ll do a 10-year holding projection initially but market conditions after only 4 or 5 years might warrant considering an earlier exit.
